News/Notes:
1) That win all but locks up a bid for Villanova. They can't suffer a loss to a non-tournament team now, and they're 7 teams from the cutline.
2) Boise State did not impress in the Mountain West tourney and is now squarely on the bubble.
3) Grambling State completes their winless season! I don't know why ESPN isn't talking about this.
4) The seed list snakes. This means that Duke is the top 1 seed, Georgetown the top 2, Miami the top 3, Marquette the top 4 etc.

 1: Duke, Indiana, Gonzaga, Louisville
2: Michigan, Michigan State, Kansas, Georgetown

Well, in the unlikely event that there is an NCAA tournament, here's my projection for it. Stanford really hurt themselves with their loss to Cal, their SOR is almost unprecedentedly bad for an at-large team. Xavier made things really interesting with a loss to DePaul, they're my last team in. Also out west, Colorado continued a massive slide with a loss to Washington State. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, USC 9: Marquette, Colorado, LSU, Providence 10: Florida, Indiana,  East Tennessee State , Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Richmond/Cincinnati) 12: (Texa...

Denver is out for blood after being eliminated by the Ravens last year in the divisional round. I'm picking line value, not the spot, here so I'm going Baltimore for 2. Baltimore +8.5 (3 units) -$330 Game 2: New England @ Buffalo +10 New England has been the center of focus this offseason, between Aaron Hernandez and Tim Tebow. However, Tom Brady is still an elite quarterback, and he can make plays even with Hernandez and Gronk out. The Bills have perhaps the murkiest QB situation in the league with Manuel and Tuel. I'm tempted to lay units on New England...
